This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

New York Post – “Epstein Shadow Hangs over Starmer as he Refuses to Step Down.” What’s wrong with this picture? A New York newspaper focuses on a British Prime Minister with a distant connection with Jeffrey Epstein, yet is silent about an American president from New York with a direct connection to Jeffrey Epstein. Does the Post have a large UK audience? Somehow, is UK domestic politics a major concern of New Yorkers? It is a complete Orwellian inversion of the news.

Starmer is in trouble for hiring the wrong person. Yet the Trump administration defends Howard Lutnick vigorously for doing exactly the same thing. The Congressman asks ever so sweetly, “We’re not saying you did anything wrong or illegal visiting Epstein’s Island. (I am!) It’s that you were dishonest in telling us about it. Oh, my fucking God! We’re not saying you did anything wrong in visiting Epstein’s island of horrors. Maybe it was just a friendly visit to Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory. It’s just that you lied about it. What was the purpose of your visit? Mr. Lutnick: “I don’t remember?”

Why did you visit Disneyland? Why did you attend Oktoberfest? Why did you attend the Rolling Stones concert? Rubs chin and thinks thoughtfully about it real hard. Answering, “I don’t remember.” Entertainment? Beer? Sex, drugs, and rock and roll? Could it be you were looking for sex with children? Not that you were doing anything wrong, of course. Just hypothetically speaking.

Lutnick is in up to his balls, er, ah, his eyeballs, but let us handle him with kid gloves. He is a cabinet secretary, after all, and we wouldn’t want to offend his high station inappropriately. We wouldn’t want to offend a close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein, while he’s lying about it all to Congress. No need to make this personal. An elected official in a congressional hearing asks the witness, “What did you do on your summer vacation?” And the witness answers, “I don’t remember.” Okay, thank you.

It would be hysterically funny if it weren’t so glaringly ugly. No truth was harmed or even touched in the making of this sound bite. Meanwhile, in another part of Trump Town. A grand jury declined to bring indictments against a sitting Congressperson for reciting from the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The charges brought by Trump lackey, worm and former slimy Fox News host Jenene Pirro on the direct orders of President Trump.

Let’s play devil’s advocate here and suppose the indictment had been approved. Could they have ever gotten a conviction after President Big Mouth called for their executions? “Off with their heads! Off with their heads!” This is so obviously and ludicrously INSANE! It so far surpasses the boundaries of surrealistic splendor that it makes Salvador Dali look like a sign painter. Reading from a government law book is a crime if the king doesn’t like it. If the law mentioned is directed at the king.

The king’s purpose was intimidation, and the king’s failure is quickly washed away. Barely even mentioned. Mr. Trump’s unethical and illegal behavior is safe from calls for impeachment. The Democrats don’t want to muddy up the waters now! Wait until after the midterm elections. Then we can put on a real show! Let them suffer for another ten months. Let the economy go to hell in a handbasket. Let him start another war or two. Let him poison relations with the rest of humanity. Don’t hit them too hard yet. They’re supposed to go down in the tenth round, in November, not now.

The news media focus on the font and ignore the story. Congress is set to read the unredacted Epstein files! How much more do you need to read before drawing a conclusion? Get a clue! It was Mr. Trump with his little dick in the solarium raping children. Yes, but how many other people you’ve never heard of were involved? Who cares! We can walk and chew gum at the same time. If Starmer should leave office for hiring the wrong person…Duh! Mr. Trump should be prosecuted for being the wrong person. Being the rapist is much worse than just knowing the rapist.

The subject is hardly ever even mentioned by the news media. Epstein this and Epstein that, but there is this invisible firewall between the real issue and the president. CNN’s Caitlan Collins asks Mr. Trump an Epstein related question, and Trump unloads on Collins for never smiling and so ergo, she must be lying. The media report the geriatric explosion with simpleton simplicity and not the direct question asked. The story becomes Trump’s rudeness rather than his rampant dishonesty.

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, and the skies are not cloudy all day. Yeah, what about Keir Starmer? America demands to know! Here is a question I’d like answered. Who invented the invisibleizer? And who gave it to the Trump regime? Pistol packing 86 proof Pete Hegseth lets his gum-flapping get him in trouble. And with the push of a single button, whoosh! Gone! Tom Holman, whoosh! Kristi Noem, whoosh! Pam Bondi, whoosh. If they face any sort of scrutiny at all, they disappear into the land the media forgot. Leaving only one real question. Is the media that stupid or that complicit?

The media report on the petulance and simian simplicity of the orange ruststickle Trump threatening to stop the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge. This is all about a trade dispute! This is all about Canada signing a trade agreement with China! This is about Trump’s corruption. Do you hear? Trump’s corruption! Just like it always is.

There is another bridge owned by a billionaire. And the Ambassador Bridge has been fighting the Gordie Howe Bridge project since its inception. A direct threat to take coins from their pockets. Donald Trump couldn’t tell you what sport Gordie Howe played or where the bridge is even located. All he knows is that after meeting with representatives of the Ambassador Bridge last week, (Cha Ching) the Gordie Howe Bridge project is all wrong.

It’s about trade! It’s about China! It’s about a personal dispute with Canada’s Mark Carney. It is all about corruption! Donald Trump’s corruption. First, last, and always, corruption. Always! Trump’s free airplane corruption. Trump crypto coin corruption. Trump election interference corruption. Trump’s hidden “whistleblower complaint” involving Tulsi Gabbard (Who?) and a major breach of national security corruption. Trump’s Venezuelan corruption. Trump’s ICE corruption. Trump’s concentration camp corruption. Trump’s raping of girl children corruption.

Big Brother to increase chocolate ration! Finally, some good news!

Ignore the stench, ignore the stye, ignore the grunt and ignore the pig. What did Keir Starmer know, and when did he know it? Will the American media ever recover its credibility? Or will America sleep eternally in a hypnotic state sponsored slumber? Told of evildoing and evil doers only in the third person. Never someone they might actually know or personally recognize.
